What does 'clock rate' mean in the context of recurrent neural networks (RNNs)?
It seems this paper defines a &quot;clock period ${T}_n$&quot; that it uses to express the topology of the network: &quot;Each module is internally fully-interconnected, but the recurrent connections from module j to module i exists only if the period $T_i$ is smaller than period $T_j$.&quot;.
This definition is, however, only in this paper, as far as I know. It wouldn't make sense to have a &quot;clock period&quot; (or &quot;clock rate&quot;) on other, more self-similar, RNNs. However &quot;time t&quot; is something that is defined to express the amount of times the RNN has recursed, &quot;t times&quot;.
